Where Do I Start
I picked up the newspaper this morning and it said the world was in a mess
Violence in our communities and cities presents a real test
I am really puzzled as to how this all came about
Perhaps you will answer me softly and not have to shout
We stopped teaching our children about the God above
Depending on their video games to to teach them and show them love.
Moma don't cook any more and give me fast food instead
It taste great to me but I wound up dead
Everyone is in a rush it seems to go nowhere
Slow down a minute and enjoy the fresh air.
Teach our children respect and always keep them learning
Encourage them to grow and keep the fire burning.
Give them a good education to inspire love and hope
Give them all the tools they need in these troubled times to cope.
